Chromebooks
On ________ through the District's Digital Dreamers initiative, all middle and high school students will receive a Chromebook to use for the 2021-2021 academic school year. On Team 8D, students will need a Chromebook to complete many of their daily classwork and homework assignments. It does not cost anything to obtain a Chromebook. However, all parents and students must fill out and sign the Chromebook Device User Agreement. (If you did not receive one from your child, I have attached a copy for you to view, download, and print out.) Students should return their Chromebook Device User Agreement to their homeroom teachers. It is highly recommend that parents/guardians purchase Chromebook Device Coverage from one of the county's three suggested companies. (I am also attaching a listing of the vendors and instructions for signing up for Chromebook Device Coverage.) The insurance is optional and roughly around $25.00. If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact any Team 8D teacher.
